About Our Client
Our client is a multinational banking group operating across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, serving over 12 million retail and business customers. With aggressive goals for digital adoption, they sought to launch a unified mobile banking app across Android and iOS, offering everything from account management to digital onboarding and AI-powered support.
Challenge
The bank’s existing mobile experience was fragmented, outdated, and lagging behind competitors. They faced multiple challenges:
- Multi-Platform Inconsistencies: Existing iOS and Android apps were built separately, leading to UI/UX drift and costly maintenance.
- Customer Onboarding Drop-off: Over 40% of new users abandoned the registration process due to delays and complex steps.
- Data Silos & Legacy APIs: Customer data was spread across multiple legacy systems with undocumented APIs and no real-time sync.
- Security & Compliance: The app needed to meet KYC, AML, and GDPR compliance, while enabling biometric login and fraud prevention.
- Scalability: The new platform had to handle over 500K concurrent users with no compromise on speed or security.
